The Loon Outdoors Apex Lip Gripper is the ideal tool for safely handling predatory fish, known for their impressive dentition, without the risk of losing a finger. Handling these aquatic creatures, well beyond the simple discomfort of the "Bass Thumb", can prove dangerous, making this tool indispensable for fly fishermen targeting these large fish.
Lightweight and easy to handle, the Apex Lip Gripper is designed to provide a firm, secure grip, allowing the fly to be removed and the fish released safely. Its locking feature in the closed position ensures that the tool remains compact and handy when not in use, while allowing quick and easy opening when required.
A notable advantage of the Apex Lip Gripper is its ability to float. This feature is particularly useful in the heat of battle, when the risk of dropping it in the water is increased. Whether you're wrestling a massive pike or securing a jumping tarpon, you can rely on this tool to stay afloat and be easily retrieved, allowing you to concentrate fully on catching and releasing the fish.
The Apex Lip Gripper from Loon Outdoors is an essential addition to the equipment of any fly fisher venturing into waters inhabited by large predators. Its thoughtful design, combining safety, practicality and durability, makes this tool a reliable companion for years of fly-fishing adventures.
